Bluetooth controllers? Those are gonna chew through a battery charge in fucking no time. Plus, they're fucking ugly - paint them yellow and you're holding a banana.

Thats a bit of an odd number, no?
My first guess was in a widescreen multiplayer game, 3 on top row and 3 on bottom, plus a 7th controller as a master controller of sorts.

Aye, tis true. My d500 lasts hardly any time when bluetooth is just ON, never mind when its actually sending data...

8 is usually where its at... I dunno about you but just 4 layers on a TV ith splitscreen is awful to look at. It would be for games like fifa, NBA etc, but 7 just seems odd.

well the xbox360 wireless have a recharge-cable so you can connect it to yer xbox and itll recharge while yer playing

mebbe these things will have summat as well
or maybe it has a lithium battery like most sony products.

running out of battery while playing a game really sucks though. wireless is for homoos

backwards compatibility will be selective, with most but not all of the top selling games supported
Doesn't sound too good. Actually, it sounds more like 5 or 6 games to me.
